What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

- Close the sink shutoff or main valve when it is safe to do so.
- Avoid using a disposal, outlet or appliance in the wet area.
- Move dry household products out of the cabinet without disturbing wiring.
- Take photos of swollen panels, water marks and affected flooring.
- Call a plumber for the source and call 24/7 for extraction and drying.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 10% of homes in the listed Chesapeake ZIP codes predate 1960. Older pipe and valve materials may merit a plumber assessment after a leak. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Chesapeake was built in the 1980s. Some homes from this period used polybutylene supply pipe, which has a known failure history. A plumber identifies the material; cleanup addresses escaped water.
A thaw can reveal a split pipe behind a vanity. The technician follows water into the wall and floor layers.
